ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) ā The American Heart Association says 24 percent of heart attack patients donāt fill their prescriptions within a week after discharge, and 34 percent of heart attack patients with multiple prescriptions stop taking at least one within the first month.
Kimby Jagnandan, 42, is a heart attack survivor.
Davis said getting patients to take all of the heart medication they need is a big problem.
Right now Panaceutics produces nutritional supplements in portable packets; the idea is to have patients take multiple heart medications compounded in a single, edible dose.
Dr. Davis says he expects Florida hospital will begin testing the edible gel in the next few months.
